Psalms 132:1-9 ▼

1 A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.

7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”

8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
